I Have Trouble I Wish Wasn't There

As we've all come to learn, turns out that life just can't get perfect. Somehow, trouble has been piling up, mostly relational trouble -- friends and loved ones with burdens, problems, sufferings, conflicts. I can't seem to relieve the burdens, fix the problems, heal the sufferings, resolve the conflicts. So I'm singing this song. It's kinda like my anthem right now.

I have unanswered prayers
I have trouble I wish wasn't there

and I have asked a thousand ways

that you would take my pain away

One day you will set all things right

to sing a song:

chàng gē

p.s.

her name is JJ Heller.

yes she is pregnant in the vid.

yes the guitar man is her hubs.

Meredith told me about her music.

Hi friend! We like to hear back from you. -- Rachel & Drew.

Neighbors 邻居

“It may be possible for each to think too much of his own potential glory hereafter; it is hardly possible for him to think too often or too deeply about that of his neighbor. The load, or weight, or burden of my neighbor's glory should be laid daily on my back, a load so heavy that only humility can carry it, and the backs of the proud will be broken. ...

"There are no ordinary people. You have never talked to a mere mortal. Nations, cultures, arts, civilizations -- these are mortal, and their life is to ours as the life of a gnat. But it is immortals whom we joke with, work with, marry, snub and exploit. ...your neighbor is the holiest object presented to your senses.”

- C.S. Lewis, The Weight of Glory
